- Take responsibility for the safe and effective delivery of brachytherapy treatments
- Work closely with clinicians, radiographers and other colleagues to plan and review patient treatments

- Help maintain and improve the quality and safety of our equipment and processes
- Play a key role in upcoming equipment replacement and service development projects
- Contribute to teaching, training and mentoring of staff and trainees
- Support research, innovation and new ways of working
Alongside this, you’ll step in for the Head of Brachytherapy Physics when needed and help ensure the service runs smoothly.
